Ohhhhh yes... I also had to add that my IL's were the same about joking that we were going to have 10 children and that I was just some kind of "baby factory" well before my 4th child arrived (even though at the time we had 3 children and I was only pg twice). It was really hurtful. Which is why I didn't even bother to tell DH's family I was pg until I was 6 months at the end of last May
I was happy we did it that way b/c it reduced some of the stress through the beginning of the pg when I was still really insecure about the whole situation and didn;t need anyone adding to my insecurities. So, I only had to listen to 3 months of "I told you you were going to get pg again, I told you you guys were going to have 10 kids....." Yadda yadda yadda and by then I was confident about having another baby so it was easier to deal with GWIM? Anyway, yes, it's degrading to listen to but when you get right down to it, it's only words and I think some of the heckling stems from jealousy... B/C we had the nerve to have a big family and do the whole "big family" thing as well as we do.
